Hello all, I'm new to the forums but I've been upgrading my truck for a while. My latest upgrade was to the new 3.3 traxxas engine.
My engine keeps turning over and won't start. At first my easy start wouldn't turn so I bought a tiger drive and I'm using my drill to turn it. I've put in a new glow plug, gas tank, and fuel lines. From what I can see so gas is getting into the engine. If I hold the exhaust hole the gas does not move up to the engine. The guy as the shop also told me he shouldn't be able to turn the flywheel with his finger. So I guess I'm losing compression somewhere and I can't find where. I put my old 2.5 engine back in and the problem remains? I haven't had my 3.3 even started yet. Any Ideas?
Thanks for your help! This can be so frustrating some days...
